The Great Big Science Show

Perfect for science week, whole-school events or rewards days. This interactive show features a variety of spectacular and highly visual demonstrations, including liquid nitrogen, chemical reactions & fireballs - an unforgettable celebration of science. The focus is on maximum excitement with the most energetic and crowd pleasing demonstrations from across a range of science disciplines. Throughout the show we’ll consider how scientists find out new things by doing experiments, testing predictions then using their knowledge to solve problems, build inventions and create technology. We'll keep the pace and energy high for maximum crowd-pleasing engagement.
